O 3. The shepherds at those tidings Rejoiced much in mind And left their flocks a-feeding In tempest, storm, and wind, And went to Bethlehem straightway, The Son of God to find.

O tidings, etc…

2. From God our heav’nly Father, A blessed angel came, And unto certain shepherds Brought tidings of the same; How that in Betlehem was born The Son of God by name.

O tidings, etc…

4. And when they came to Bethlehem, Where our dear Saviour lay, They found Him in a manger Where oxen feed on hay; His Mother Mary kneeling down Unto the Lord did pray.

O tidings, etc…

1. God rest your merry gentlemen, Let nothing you dismay.

Remember Christ our Saviour Was born on Christmas Day, To save us all from Satan’s pow’r, When we were gone a-stray.

O tidings of comfort and joy, confort and joy, O tidings of confort and joy.

5. Now to the Lord sing praises, All you within this place, And with true love and brotherhood Each other now embrace; This holy tide of Christmas All other doth deface.

O tidings, etc…
